Wishlist for Guitar (or string) features (newbie!)

Hi,   I dont know if I should be saying this in this forum, but I have a wish list for guitar related stuff. I am just a newbie and still trying to get a hold of the syntax but I have found some stuff that is a bit lacking in the guitar arena. Or maybe is not documented clearly? Maybe this is becau

Breathe sign in lyrics messes up line spacing

Hi, A while ago, I posted to this list about how to include a breathing sing into the lyrics (not into the staff), and Mats gave me the solution: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2005-11/msg00532.html However, I'm still fighting with the issue (in lilypond 2.8.7), because that sol

FYI, this bug also happens on volta brackets that continue or start at a new system. The beginning of the volta bracket is "pushed" to the right by the mark. This is exasperated by the fact that very often it is necessary to put a "To CODA" mark at the beginning of first endings. In this very f

RE: Aligning instrument names

Many thanks, Thies Your suggestion works perfectly for left-aligning instrument names, and it is certainly simpler than my best effort! With hspace 1 or 2 larger than the longest name and 1 larger again for staves which are outside any bracket or brace the left alignment (for the default font at

Re: chord name size

Depends on your age, eyesight and the type of score too. For a simple fake book lead sheet I like things big so that I can read it better in a dark room at a distance, or at times when I'll have a cheat sheet on the floor at my feet while performing something I have not fully memorized. As for t

Re: between-system-space does not work with lilypond-book

Right! When you use lilypond-book, each system of the score is typeset as a separate .eps file that is then included in the LaTeX document using \includegraphics. You can easily change the spacing using something like: \newcommand{\betweenLilyPondSystem}[1]{\\[10mm]\noindent} before \begin{documen

Lilypond 2.8.6 (Mac) If I run Lilypond with a score using between-system-space, it works. If I use the same score embedded in a latex file, it does not work with lilypond-book. Help? Wolfgang -- Wolfgang Mechsner Lieneschweg 14 49076 Osnabrück Telefon: 05 41 / 2 00 15 61 Mobil: 01 79 / 9 09 6
